Pipeline

One mesh. Three deliberate passes.

01 / source

The existing parametric model keeps its published dimensions, hinge transforms, per-pixel lighting, drag physics, and fit solver.

g2-glasses.js → transparent source canvas

02 / sample

The frame is downsampled into cells. Contrast and brightness reshape each cell before alpha removes the empty background.

Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B

03 / glyph

Each luminance value indexes a sparse-to-dense character set, then the rows are painted in OcuClaw lens green.
